it's ben sum time since I've posted or ben to an event. hopefully this year will be different. I do miss taking that nice ride upstate to see friends and other members. Will there be any group rides coming up this year?

hopefully things will be fully open soon and I hope to make it to this event if it's a GO......

Thank you djh3, that was what i was thinking about doing "using the mounting bolt for the reflector". NY requires that it be visibly from the left front side and on a permanent part of the bike like the fork.

for thous of you like me hear in NY, where do you put the state inspection sticker? I know hear in NY they like to stick them to your fork on the left side but theirs no place that i can see for it + i don't want to dirty up the fork.

So i took it out for my first real spin today and it's not as loud as i thought but need to get more time in the saddle with it. I did notice pop'n and backfiring once and a while when i was out. "probably needs a tun up" other tan that I was in heaven during the ride, You second gen riders have bean keeping this a dirty little secret. "lol it's safe with me" I'm now official spoiled and never want to go back and ride my first gen again. Now the next question is how do you move the back rest foreword? I only see adjustment for up/down. need to move it forward 2" to properly support me.

During my lunch break at work the other day I was surfing the net and found these really nice 1999 second gen at a reasonable price with 77000 miles on it. I contacted the seller and couldn't believe it was still for sale, so I took and drive yesterday and well you know the rest. Now the fun starts, I'll be asking you all for help/information. The first is the exhaust. I think it's too loud. It has the Harley street glide slip-on exhaust on it right now and i do have the original to put back on. I'm used to a little loud with a deep Rumble like my 84 has with its aftermarket pipes. The question is what do you all run on yours.

As most of you know I go to great lengths to ride, I have even been known to ride in a snowstorm or two for a meet and eat. with today's technology anyone can ride all year long, It's personal preference that limits riding.

I have not been on in quite a while here on the site but today I was pleased to see other riders like me that are involved electronics. I love the build and discussion that is going on here and can offer my services to anyone needing boards assembled and tested. further more After looking over the code and schematics that I believe it can be moved to a single board application using smaller discrete components and processor. It's possible to get this down to the size of a flip phone excluding the sensors and tubing. willing to help any way I can. looking forward to a great riding year this year.

me and Ashley had a great time with all my WNY friends and all those that attended. each year I see this rally gets better & better, we cannot wait to see all of you next year.

you can always order them from http://www.precisionshims.com.au/?stg=1

If it will work on my 1984 XVZ12 then i'll take one if they're still available.

I have been looking at going to the dark side with my 84 also. I have found on TireRack that there is a Bridgestone Tracompa-2 145/80-16 that has a load index and speed rating of 105/M "2039 Lb / 81 Mph" and it's not cheap $159 My tire was a 140/90-16 with a 25.92" in diameter and 5.51 inches wide. the Tracompa 145/80-16 is 25.13" in diameter and 5.70 inches wide. After reading about another member running these Temporary/Compact Spare Tires I just may go to the junk yard and look for one, after all there new and in good shape most of the time. Just got back in from the bike shed and I measured the old tire that is on it now and came up with 5.88" wide and was almost touching the A-frame. the Tracompa 145/80-16 tire may or may not fit. "Leaning towards not fitting" A 135/90-16 will fit like the Bridgestone Tracompa-2 $152 or Continental CST 17 $99. they both have the same ratings of 1874 Lb / 81 Mph with a 25.56" diameter and 5.31 inches wide.

OK, Tom, I'm in. Yes I'm going this year...

I may want to hier him! My drive way oddly enough has the same pitch but with a 30' landing at the top befor starting the garage.

I may have to bow-out, Irene may want to tag along for the ride and you may not want that.:rotf:

Need a helmet? 2011 Motorcycle Helmets cops hate I never cease to marvel at the Free Enterprise System. When a product reaches the point where it's nearly impossible to improve its functionality, someone will still come up with a way to make people want to ditch their old one and get yours.

Being new to the venture club I don't know what the Cody 2011 is all about? My last recall of Wyoming was when i was doing bronc riding wen i was younger. Can you fill me in on what go's on at this get together? From all your description's i may be able to draw up sum ideas to enter into the contest. looking forward to the replies.

My 1984 did the same thing, would crank but no spark. I found that I had no power going into the TCI. I had power at the plug but not inside the TCI. I found the terminals wear corroded from a bad battery that had leaked all over them. after cleaning up the connections on the TCI and plug I had to repair the prong that supplied power into the TCI and all was well again. I would check the connections on the TCI real good, You may have the same problem I did.

the cover looks like it's off a 50cc moped but if it works that's grate.

I rest my case.

It sounds like a perfect opportunity to put another dog in danger just to go down the road and taunt the other dogs and hope thay cum in the road just to exact your revenge and unload your gun.

I agree to that comment and is why I brought it up. I would gladly go to prison or DETH it my bully did that. I got my first bully as a rescue dog, His owner was not taking care of them when thay wear born and was taken by the SPCA and sent out for adoption, that's when i got him at 6 weeks old. As for biting me, well I'm a big man and I'm sure I was hurting him and if it wear any other bread the same would have happened to me. I was in the wrong for allowing them to be in that situation. You haven't ben watching the news lately in Florida and Alabama, They seem to be having a surge of deaths related to pet pythons and boas getting loos.

Looks promising but will have to wait till the 18Th to find out whether or not if i can go. I will mark my calendar just in case.

I felt it hear in ulster NY, all my wind chimes in the house wear moving around along with all my plants.

I have owned many dog's but the bully breed has ben the best for me. I understand your loss and your fond hatred for the breed do to the loss, but if your dog kills someone else's beloved animal or baby would you also condemn that breed also? As for your comment in the letter about dog's dragging tiers and blocks, I believe you may be miss understanding of that purpose. I don't fit any of my bully's but do use them to pull carts, wagons and other things hear on the farm. If you do a search for dog weight pulling you will find that the bully breed has ben bred for doing the task among other things. I start my dog's off with them and work there way up to 1000lb the same as i train my horses, I had a bully named buddy that wade 75lbs and could pull 2300lbs and I will miss him. nun of my dog's have gone after the chickens or any other animals OR KIDS but as a responsible owner I do watch them when around kids, ALL kid's older than five have the nature of being cruel to animals and if younger than 5 being curious of there surroundings. No dog enjoys having fingers up there but or teased and tormented by older kid's, there protective response is what gets printed in the paper. As for other animal attacks such as yours I cannot comment on do to not knowing the events leading up to the fatal attack such as your dogs response to another dog in the area. I'm no Cesar millan, but i do know by watching my dog's behavior what can happen next and I can intervene in there response before something bad can happen. just the other day i had my Niece hear for a visit and one of my dog's had enuf of hear roughhousing and wanted to call it quits but she did not understand this and kept chasing him around until he tuned and stood his ground. wen ever she is over thay would play together for up to 5 hrs before they both tier out, but on that day i had him working pulling hay out to the horses and after all that just wanted to be left alone. I don't think he would have bit hear but before it got to that point I took hear over to the horses for the rest of the day. I'm all for the bully breed but the breed is no for everybody. it takes a lot of dedication and training and most people just wont them to say thay have one without understanding what it takes to keep them. I'm all for the 3 strike law and only one of my dogs "buddy" has bit sum-won and that was me on the chin. he used to sleep with us in the bed and one day he was sharing the pillow with me on my laze-boy and from what i understand, I roll over him pinning him to the side of the Chara and was starting to hurt him. his response to get free was to bit me. Let me tell you it definitely woke me up which in turn freed him. I went to the hospital to get fixed up and thay called the authorities which in turn sentenced him to 1 month confined to the home and a mark on his record. I don't blame him for biting me nor should he be condemned for it, he was protecting himself. All dog's are dangerous when trained or used improperly but the biggest problem is people, plan and simple. Gun's and Dog's don't kill people, people kill people, thay just use guns or dogs to do it and I believe should be treated the same. if you use a gun to kill you go to prison or sentenced to death. if you use your dog to kill it is put down and nothing happens to you. I believe if it was treated the same there would be more responsible owners out there. I'm sorry for your loss but don't blame the breed blame the owner.
